My guess is there's a coordinated wing-nut program of buying up 25 copies at a time to game the numbers.

...Then get a conservative foundation to buy them up. Then give them to simpletons that vote red but don't read. That's the right-wing rumba, right Jonah??

... and rightwingers have a history of doing so, because they know the numbers give MediaCorp an excuse to give them even more airtime.

So what if the books aren't factual? Neither was the Swiftboat stuff either. That made the liars millionaires.

If McCain wins, I will become firmly convinced we are a nation of which the majority is idiots. We really, really are.

as to why the books are selling so well? It's because the American public realizes that they can't rely on the Obama-loving media for any information critical of Obama, and have to turn elsewhere for the other side of the coin.

I hope the Obama corps rounds up all dissidents in January, and stuffs them in re education camps. Let freedom ring.

that very same obama-loving media that characterizes any change, however small, nuanced or justified, in his policies as a colossal flip-flop while mr. straight talk v.2008 who is virtually unrecognizable from mccain v.2000 on nearly every fundametional issue gets a free pass (not to mention free air time of dishonest ads) from our Media, Inc.

or was that too arrogant of me to point out?

Why is he always described as this? Morris is a mealymouthed little twerp who has had it in for Clinton and the democrats for years. His short stint as an advisor is now far outweighed by his years of Clinton bashing.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't think Obama gets far more favorable media coverage than McCain. And calling his painfully blatant changes in position "justified or nuanced" is a joke. It is because they are so blatant that the media is forced to highlight them.

Wright 5579 - you are 100% correct. This is supposed to be serious business - electing a president of this country - and after the terrible Bush years. Frankly, I wish we had anyone other than either these two to put into that office. A man that is a hero to his country, and rightfully so - but way to old for the important position (it is so very painful to watch him on television sometimes) and the other one - WHO IS THIS PERSON? I will be the first one to stand in line and tell how disappointed I have been in George W. Bush, although I did not vote for him (I am a life-long Democrat and have never voted otherwise before, BEFORE . . .), but surely this country cannot just throw this untested man who speaks oh so well, into that office, because anybody other than another Republican administration will be o.k.?!!!!

I am really concerned. I don't want Barack Obama for my president only because I feel he is not ready - and all his flowing words will not convince me that he is. Send him back to the Senate for a few more years, then he may make us a grand President! McCain . . . well . . .

The Democrats and Republicans have put this country in a terrible quandry. I don't care what the media has to say - Keith Obermann or Sean Hannity (or that forever blowhard, Rush Limbaugh) neither Obama or McCain is Presidential material at this time - and yet we are hung, and that mostly unspoken dread if Obama should win, or worse lose by a small margin - what will happen to this country? Not saying Obama will sanction this, but I and nearly every soul that votes that I have talked with about this, and there has been many, feels as I do - now watch the explosion come my way when I say this - I fear the black community, not the sensible ones -will tear this country apart, for a while. Obama doesn't want this I feel sure, but there will be no way he can stop it. If the margin of defeat is slight and McCain wins, they will never believe anything but that "whitey" STOLE it from

them, and if he wins, the arrogance of the uneducated will be unbearable - for a while. Yes, I do know elections are stolen - white on white - Al Gore was our elected President.

But this time it will be worse. I hope that if Obama does manage to pull this off, he does so by a landslide, and the same for McCain. Both parties know a terrible mistake has been made and a terrible decision is about to be made. It is not that this country is not ready for a black man President (even a half-black man), but that this man is, himself, not ready for this most important office. I cannot believe we are verging on making another huge mistake as we did with GWB - someone maybe with the right intentions, but the wrong experience, or no experience, for the job.

Enough - I am sad and frustrated, but how in Hell will I be able to not vote at all, then again pull a lever for either of these man?

Don't confuse information with misinformaion. Okay, Sparky?

It's not secret that the mainstream media is controlled by Republican-leaning interests. So why is Obama getting all of the press?

Because McCain, whom the press has always loved, is out there every single day either saying something stupid, or doing something stupid.

If the media wasn't covering all of the Obama non-news, they'd be forced to remind us that McCain has once again demonstrated that he doesn't know Sunni from Shia, that he's once again imagined that Iraq and Pakistan share a border, or that he's once again reminded us that he doesn't know squat about economics.

Sometimes, less is more. The media is doing their part to help McCain by ignoring him.

There will probably be stacks of them on sale in Costco in November. The bestseller list is subject to orchestrated mass purchases by "ghosts." These "bestsellers" do give their authors time on so-called news channels to promote their concoctions.
